I'm a bit dubious that there is (very much) left *to* find. The region has been extensively explored for *millenia* and is one of the very first regions where exploitative collectors and proto-archaeologists (generally Brit's) were active from the mid-1700s onwards.
I honestly suspect the Romans pursued a policy of "erasure;" perhaps not consciously, but in the way "systemic" social & related policies, biased administrators, and similar elements can have the same effect.
--- Quote from: Basil on July 17, 2022, 12:51:53 AM --- I think it is interesting that we know very little of White Court origins. I suspect that they are the offspring of a powerful Etruscan wizard that "did a deal."

The Ramps & the Whamps have that similar element: some non-human "thing" exists in them, that cannot get full expression until they kill.
I suspect that Jim won't write a same-y "some wizard done F'ed up" backstory for both of them, but yes: I suspect one of them will be a result of some long-ago wizard(s). I can make (what I feel are) excellent cases for each one being "a wizard F-up," but my bet is for it to be the Whamp origin-story (I think I'll launch a new thread on the topic, it's very-tangential to this one).

He has already given Nameless a name.
Cowl.

You think the lawyers Cowl?
huh good theory.
Dunno if I agree with it yet and as it stand I could poke holes through it like cheddar cheese but good theory nonetheless.
Conspiracy Theorist:
1. Nameless worked with (and not for) Kemmler, and Cowl knew exactly what Bob was in Dead Beat, and what information he might contain;
2. Cowl adopted his namesake Cowl at the Vampire Party in Grave Peril, the Leansidhe was there and would have recognised him otherwise. He would have attracted her attention with an glamour in a crowd where nobody else was using an glamour.
3. Nameless was paperclipped into Winter, but this may have been an ulterior motive to get inside Winter to set up the attack on Lea, and the attack on Arctis Tor (after which Nameless was expelled), by the Circle.
4. The items in Nameless office include a (bear) skull used to summon a spirit, and an evil looking dagger. Both items associated with Cowl’s previous appearances.
Mira:
Oh Cowl, yet another plot thread that has gone missing from the fabric of this series... :-\
